We interrupt this Tops 2008 programming to...

JUMP UP AND DOWN

...about the forthcoming Saint Etienne single, Method Of Modern Love. Justlisten to the sample at PopJustice and I won't need to explain any further. The first great pop song of 2009.

It fits perfectly with the fact that someone actually worthy told me I was "very cute" this weekend [ed: this never happens]. So sing along: "One touch is not enough / When you start, you can't stop / That's the method of modern love."*

This song is set to be a truly epic pop moment of 2009! We've been waiting so patiently since Tales From Turnpike House, but this surpasses even my expectations, and thank Jesus it's not a Hall & Oates cover. I can't wait for the whole thing to be released!

As for the cute comment, looks like 2009 may be looking up in more ways than just one great pop song for you!
